To all radio amateurs
SB QST ARL ARLB045
ARLB045 HF auto digital approved
The FCC will amend its rules to permit limited automatic control of
digital stations on the amateur HF bands.
The action, in PR Docket 94-59, was announced in a press release.
The automatically controlled station must either be connected to
another station under manual control, or must transmit within a
subband designated for this purpose.
Those subbands have not yet been announced.
The Commission said it believes these rule changes will allow
amateurs to ''contribute to communication technology'' and to advance
amateurs' communication and technical skills.
More information was in August 1994 QST, on page 71.
